Is there a fender liner trimming how-to link anywhere? I'm doing rims and tires next week (18 x 9 +0 rims and 265 /70r18 tires) and want to get the fenders clearances before hand but don't see any guides on what has to be trimmed. My FJ was easy, just a BMC, but the GX looks like it needs more on the front and rear to mount even +1 size tires. Thanks in advance.


Pic for attention.

To get my 285/75 17's to fit, aside from my 3" lift, I just needed to trim the inner plastic fender liner.
 
Rims and tires got here early this week and were installed Wednesday. I heat gunned the inner fender liners and moulded them out as far as possible in the back, and cut and redrilled the front fender to push it forward. Worked well, but the bolt is still running the tires and will have to come out. Everything else clears.

I ordered a Dobinson lift today that should help clear the tires and finish the look, but for now that it how its sitting.
